Notable changes:
* build: Add a --link-module option to configure that can be used to
bundle additional JavaScript modules into a built binary
(Bradley Meck) #2497
* docs: Merge outstanding doc updates from joyent/node
(James M Snell) #2378
* http_parser: Significant performance improvement by having
http.Server consume all initial data from its net.Socket and parsing
directly without having to enter JavaScript. Any 'data' listeners on
the net.Socket will result in the data being "unconsumed" into
JavaScript, thereby undoing any performance gains.
(Fedor Indutny) #2355
* libuv: Upgrade to 1.7.3 (from 1.6.1), see
https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/ChangeLog for details
(Saúl Ibarra Corretgé) #2310
* V8: Upgrade to 4.4.63.30 (from 4.4.63.26) (Michaël Zasso) #2482

### Known issues
See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues.
* Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507)
* Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264).
* Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690)
* `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760).
* Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894)
* `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435).
